Hi I am new to this but was wondering if anybody can help with my problem.
I have just sold my 09 defender 90 and picked up my new one, it has the new 2.2 engine, now the problem this thing is eating diesel but ha oh it's new, but I have noticed that when changing gear the revs do not return to idle sometimes sticking at 2600 revs, Land Rover have said this is part of the design to make life better for the transmission which I find hard to understand as defender are built to work, but the BIG problem is the sometimes when you lift off the accelerator the throttle will stick or hold for 2/3 seconds, this is not always only sometimes but my wife has now refused to drive it as it did it 3 times to her and she had to brake sharply to avoid hitting the car in front, land rover seem to think this is acceptable.
Has anybody else had problems like this ?

Yes I've seen the ones at work hold their revs slightly just requires you to leave a bit more space or just let up on the accelerator and feed the clutch in rather than dumping it
 
The ecu does do alot on the new ones think even the ones without anti stall have some sort of rev holding thingy on them. But have never noticed it holding revs too high between gear changes.

I've never seen that on my 1 month old / 2000 miles 110... but i shall look out for it... no idea if it is drinking fuel or not... I don't tend to pay much attention to fuel efficiency, i'm sure it would only upset me!
